Historical note
The Comptroller is the chief financial officer for the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This office prepares the annual city budget and exercises fiscal control over the activities of city departments and agencies. The revised city charter of 1852 established the office of Comptroller. Initially appointed by the Common Council, in 1853 the Comptroller became an elected position, serving a one-year term. In 1874, the term of office was extended to two years and, in 1924, to four years.
